1. About ONYX

BOOX is presented by Onyx International, which has a group of professionals who

dedicate themselves in designing state-of-the-art reading terminal. The beauty of the

BOOX is embodied in both its simplicity and its power. As we are going to show you,

BOOX is an open and flexible platform for both consumers and content providers.

BOOX is powered by a 16-level grayscale e-ink screen that looks and feels like paper.

Passive lighting and diffuse surface relax your eyes and reduce eye strain. By the

hand-writing system, you can take notes while reading and sketch up ideas that happen

to emerge. BOOX takes full advantage of new-generation e-ink screens: extremely low

power consumption without reflection and backlight. Each full charge can sustain a few

weeks' reading. By reducing paper consumption while providing a realistic paper-like

reading experience, digital content helps to protect the environment without sacrificing

convenience or life style.

For content partners, we also provide support for custom formats and digital rights

management solutions. All of our viewers have standard features such as layout

management, font adjustment, full text search, zooming, and page flow.

For a next-generation information device, connectivity is essential. The user can

connect to the Internet by build-in Wi-Fi to

Customized for the e-ink screen, WebKit, the same software engine as some powerful

desktop browsers such as Safari and Chrome, is the web browser of BOOX.

BOOX gives you a new reading experience.
